My lord... my liege... What are you doing?
The Web has been all abuzz of late over Lord Huron. Last month, the Los-Angeles based musician released “Into the Sun.” The song and EP have gained attention from Whiskey Transfusion, New Band Day, Ology, The Road Goes Ever On, and (yours, truly) Indycent, leading many to wonder: Exactly who is Lord Huron? From the best information we have gathered, Lord Huron has been involved in numerous projects over the past 15 years or so, including Razor Dave, Arcaid, Mr. Madness, Summersault and, most recently, something strange called the Benjamin Smythe Antarctic Institute. Your guess is as good as ours. The upshot, though, is that Lord Huron will perform live for the first time on Friday, Aug. 6 at The Grandstar (943 N. Broadway) in Los Angeles as part of “No Jacket Required.” Word is our Lord has put together a five-piece band of mercenaries that sounds pretty faithful to the recordings after just a few rehearsals. Also on the bill are Polls, Superhuman and John Carpenter. Admission is $5 and the show begins at 8 p.m. and free Firefly Vodka drinks will be available until 10. Wanna know who Lord Huron is? Show up and find out for yourself. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have known the creative force behind Lord Huron since 1983.
the show was amazing! the band was sick and the two brand new songs that he played were AT LEAST as good as the three from the EP – one was even better IMHO. wish i had pics to share, but i forgot to even bring my crappy ass camera. he’s got another at the end of the month though – so a real reviewer should come to that – fo shiz!
